Hi, my name is Susan and this is the first time doing a challenge. I have been crafting for over 20 years and have been following Frances for a long time. I have made many of her books and love them all. For the challenge I used Graphic 45 Midnight Tales paper. I hope you like it.
PS - for the large waterfall I didn’t have enough paper to complete it so I ordered the paper but it has not come in yet!
August challenge was awesome. The paper is from The Paper Studio called Stargazer. I didn't put a lot of embellishments on it as I just loved the paper so much.
August Challenge complete! I used PhotoPlay's Hello Lovely by Michelle Coleman paper pack and ephemera as well as a few pieces of Bazzill cardstock in coordinating colours. I love this paper and Francės' tutorial!
🏆August CHALLENGE COMPLETE
I had the best time playing with the Seasons Greetings paper kit from Carta Bella, and oh my goodness — the vintage vibes in this collection are EVERYTHING.
This folio layout is one of my favorites because it’s like a Mary Poppins bag of memory-keeping… it fits so many photos but still has flaps, tuck spots, and little surprises hiding everywhere. Perfect for storing all the Christmas chaos.
📸 Some of my favorite details:
That bold December 25th cover piece (front and center, because duh).
Little “special delivery” touches that make it feel like Santa dropped this off himself.
The rope tie I originally planned to use turned out to be too chunky for the closure — but honestly, it looks just like Santa’s toy sack rope, so it still makes me ridiculously happy. 🎅🏼🎁
This project makes me want to fill it with hot cocoa photos, gift-wrap disasters, and all the cheesy Christmas pajama shots.
August challenge complete! I used Echo Parks Baby Boy and Baby Girl to complete the albums.
This is my first post. I had the most fun with this month challenge. I used The Paper Studio Haverdashery paper pack. Thank you for helping me get crafty!

Challenge ends on the 31st. Am I calmly finishing up? Absolutely not. I’m knee-deep in paper scraps pretending the decorating stage doesn’t take a literal eternity.
At least the cover’s done, so I can look like I have my life together while the inside is still chaos. Totally fine. Everything’s fine. 🙃
(said in total sarcasm, because honestly I’m loving every single minute of this challenge)
Challenge complete. The paper is from Michael's. Super cute paper that I did not photograph well. It has gold foil accents on the paper. It's cool and cloudy and not great for pictures, but I shall not complain about poor lighting as last weeks heat index was 110+.
My camera is stamped in green to add a pop. I chose this camera stamp because it reminds me of my old cannon film camera that I use on nature walks.
I used Stickles on the cover to add dimension to the fire.
